Why is that?
I have my opinion below but I would like to send a message out as to why this game is still good even though it has all the problems you wouldn't tolerate in a different game. Please don't fight in the thread. Each person can have their opinion.
My reason for staying:
I own several FPS but this is the only game with a decent community. I like to think the corporation system has some pull on that, but other games have tried similar approaches and this game barely has any reason to be in a corporation or loyal to a faction or group.
Games like BO, PS2, and BF have better graphics, mechanics, balance, and game play but they still fall short due to the people playing the game are just aholes! So why does Dust retain so many quality players? I also love League of Legends but that game was rated as the most hate filled game on the internet. Ha!
My main reason for sticking around is the community and I don't think CCP has anything to do with that.
Actually, both Eve Online and Dust 514 are filled with a-holes. At least here you are given a chance to learn how to deal with them.
To me, it's knowing that the developers are actually listening to the players this time around. It is most unfortunate that Dust did not experience such openness early on due to the way how the previous Executive Producer handled things. Thankfully, we now have CCP Rouge who made the right decision to have CCP Rattati in charge of the dev team. Since then, the devs have been far more open than ever before and more timely with their development. In fact, each of the recent updates have been consistent with the promises set by the Trello Board that Rattati himself posted.

Limited tiericide is coming to fruition.
Planetary Conquest is now fun.
We can now trade many things (I notice we can trade BPO MLT modules and weapons now, YAY!)
Faction Warfare has more incentives to get into.
Fireteams, Squads, and Splatoons are now a thing (yay, team deploy!)
